The topic of knowledge management will be
analysed from a critical perspective; as will the topic of knowledge
creation (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995). To begin with, the key
motivations behind the discourse of knowledge creation and management
are briefly discussed. The contemporary distinction between tacit
and explicit knowledge is then explored. Following this, the work
of Lyotard on knowledge in a (post)modern economy will be summarised. The
paper then explores how some work by Foucault may provide a new direction
for developing critical research strategies in this area.
